Democracy For America

Taking away the voter file six weeks before Iowa over a vendor mistake isn't just poor decision making -- in the data-driven world of presidential campaigns, this move by the DNC amounts to political malpractice. The DNC must immediately reverse this disturbing decision and give voter file access back to the Sanders campaign.Read more...

The Democratic National Committee just did the unthinkable: Only a few short weeks before Iowa, they've completely shut down the Sanders campaign's access to the DNC's 50 state voter file -- all because of a security error made by a third party vendor.

There is simply no excuse for this. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC know who was responsible for the problem, but they chose to attack the campaign that discovered it rather than hold the vendor responsible. And as a result, they've completely crippled the Sanders campaign's ability to do voter outreach in the run up to the first major vote of the presidential contest.

This is more than a mistake on the part of the DNC -- it is a direct attack on the democratic process. Tell Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to give access to the voter file back to the Sanders campaign immediately.
